What it is
Market District Potato Gnocchi are small, soft dumplings made from potatoes and flour. They offer a tender texture and a mild, comforting flavor that makes them a versatile base for many dishes.

How people cook with it
Gnocchi are wonderfully adaptable and can be paired with a wide variety of sauces and accompaniments.
- Tossed with pesto
- Served with marinara sauce
- Browned in butter
- Added to soups
To prepare Market District Potato Gnocchi, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the gnocchi to the boiling water. They will sink to the bottom initially. As they cook, they will float to the surface. Once they float, allow them to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure they are heated through and tender. Carefully remove the cooked gnocchi from the water using a slotted spoon. They are now ready to be sauced or prepared as desired.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional dried pasta, these potato gnocchi have a softer, more pillowy texture. Their potato base also gives them a slightly different flavor profile, often described as more earthy and less neutral than durum wheat pasta. This makes them absorb sauces differently.

Home cooks looking for a quick and easy meal option will appreciate these gnocchi.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused gnocchi in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to use them within a few days for optimal freshness and texture. Ensure they are kept cool to maintain their quality.
